@New Order:
YOU FAILED TO ACCEPT REALITY! IS IT STUPIDITY OR NAIVETY?

You must be out of your stupid mind. Go to Ghana immigration service and inquire about as to how many international passengers list Kumasi as their final destination. Gymifuo! You can also go the VIP station at Nkrumah Circle and inquire with the Station officials the number of International passengers who board buses to Kumasi on every single day!

Did the flight land in your stupid Village? How many people from your village even know Kumasi let alone boarding an international flight? No news that the world will always have such people around.

Did the plane take off with passengers back to Gatwick the same day? NO!
That is not how Ethiopia Airlines does business and that is why I think those who say this was a chartered flight have a point.

A political gimmick? How many will fill flight from london to kumasi? Is kumasi an industrious town? Funny people. They upgraded kumasi airport so that the Ashantehene and the political class can travel by air instead of travelling on the five hour dangerous road which claims life's daily and the masses are happy because they've got an airport. Shithole country, always doing the wrong things in helping the people. Let's wait and see how this airport will last.

The Ethiopian airline plane that laned at Kumasi Airport was a Boeing 737 860.
Here are the facts: "A fully loaded 737 requires around 2000m of runway to come to a safe stop after touchdown at around 140 knots"
KUMASI AIRPORT RUNWAY IS 1994M long" (Info from Flightradar 24).
The plane that landed a few days ago at Kumasi Airport could not have been fully loaded because the pilots would have needed to break very hard during touchdown. Flying into Kumasi using a 737 in bad weather would not give much safety margin at all.
You don't have to be an aircraft engineer to figure this one out.

As already stated above, landing conditions at Kumasi Airport is far from ideal and could be very hazardous if the plane is fully loaded (implying a need for a longer runway for it to safely land) Put bluntly the runway at Kumasi Airport is not long enough for a 737 or bigger jets.
Flying a plane half full would not be economically viable or profitable so this looks suspiciously like a gimmick. I would be convinced if the runway was lengthened from its current 6540 feet up to 8000 feet long. (Tamale Airport in contrast is just over 11000 feet long!)
Zack 1 year ago

The runway at Kumasi airport is approx. 2.4 Km long.You can check this from wikipedia so I don't really know what you mean by "far from ideal" landing conditions.

I dont think you bothered to read my previous comment.I clearly stated that the runway is "approx. 2.4 km long.You can convert that to feet and see how it measures up with your previous statement.

6540 feet = 1993metres(1.9 KM)
8000 feet =2438 metres(2.43 KM)

The Kumasi runway is 2.3 km

It is more than adequate for landing and take off for Boeing 737-200 to 737-800 in most conditions i.e dry,wet ,full or empty.

Nothing but another devious election ploy by the NPP to assist its hallucination on breaking the 8. First, there was the parading of Kayaye, and now the staged arrival of a flight into Kumasi for votes. Hopefully, the voters in Ashanti Region will see through this deception and ignore these NPP looting nation-wreckers who have halted the completion of many public projects around the Ashanti Region because these NPP looters have pocketed the funds that were meant for use in those public projects.

What a good news. This will force British Airways to reduce their high fares. Break the monopoly of major airlines such as KLM and Air France by introducing flights to Amsterdam and Paris. These 2 companies are ripping off customers. Can you imagine tickets from Amsterdam to Johannesburg are cheaper to that if Amsterdam to Accra, though Johannesburg is almost twice the distance from Amsterdam to Accra? This is just because South African Airways flies to Amsterdam.

Make the airport big so other flights can land successfully. Why can't our leaders use their brains. Take more space and make the runaway big enough so others can land successfully.
